Mirror in the Sky - The Life and Music of Stevie Nicks

"Through painstakingly precise research, Simon Morrison brings us a glimpse of the woman behind the chiffon, leather, and lace and provides us with insights into the inspirations and motivations of our generation's most iconic female singer, allowing us to see her in all her dimensions. Fascinating!"--Walter Egan, music producer, songwriter, artist

"Mirror in the Sky is a genuine delight for any Stevie Nicks fan, but an absolute treasure for true music aficionados. Less about the 'rock star lifestyle' than the creative process and collaboration that make the lifestyle possible, it's an incredibly rare glimpse into musical machinations that only those on the inside are familiar with. Everyone wonders what it's like to be a rock star, but if you want to understand how Nicks actually forged that capricious path--becoming a musical icon--this book is for you."--Kristin Casey, author of Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh
